Patented 'May 6, 1930 E TAT -BATE EARL :o; WEAVER, F HALFWAY, AND CHARLES A. com}, 01 DETROIT, MICHIGAN" r sroox immovnn Applicatioii fiieanaj 4, 923. Serial 'No.; 274 ,$80- I Ourinvention" relates to anew and useful improvement in a stock remover adapted'for use on punch presses andother similar devices. 7

It is an object of the present invention to provide a device whereby stock may be read ily removed from position after it has been operated upon by the machine so that. the

necessity of an operator placing his hands in the path ofthe moving partsof the machine in order to remove the stock therefrom may be avoided.

. It is another object of the invention to provide a device of this class which will be simple 5 in structure, economical of? manufacture,

highly efiicient and durable in use, and automatic in operation.

It is another object of the invention to provide a. stock remover whereby the efficiency and speed of the machine with which used may be increased.

Other objects will appear hereinafter. V

The invention consists in the combination m. and arrangement of parts hereinafter. de

" scribed and claimed.

which form a part of this specification and in wh1ch,.

. F Fig. 1 is a side elevational view of the invention showingit applied to a machine, with parts broken away and parts shown in section.

Fig. 2 is a view taken on line 22 of Fig. 1. Fig.3 is a view taken on line33 of Fig. 1. In the drawingswe have" illustrated the invention applied to a punch press having the ram 9 which moves in conjunction with M the head 10, cooperating with which are the strippers 11 for removing theworkpiece 12 from the punch after operation.

The invention comprises a conveying plat form or work supporting member 13 which in one position is located beneath the punch and adapted to receive the workpiece 12 which is stripped therefrom.

As shown in Fig. 2, this table orconveying member 13 is perforated and provided with 7 an elongated shank 14 having holes formed 'wardly from the punch is a stationary bracket 18 on which is pivoted the bell arm; 19, one end of whichis providedwith a slot 20 which therein, through which bolts 15 may be projected-whichserveto pass through openings" '16formedintheoperating shank 17, a plu- I 'rality of these openings being provided for the'p'urposeof adjustment. Extending outthrough which is extended a pin 21 carried by the lug22 which-is reciprocated upon reoiprocation of the ram' 9. f The opposite end ofthe bell crank projects through a slot2l formed inthe shank '11 and betweenrollers '25 and26 which are rotatablyimounted inthe slot uponthe shank 17. q'lhis shank is adapted for reciprocatingmovement between the guide plates 27 and 28 which have the inwardly projecting flanges 29 and 30. Mounti ed upon the stationary part of the punch press isaiplate 31 which is slotted as shown in P Fig. 1. Inserted intothe slot'fis a seraper'sa is secured in position by the set.screw In operation as the ram 9 is moved down the end 23 forcing the shank 17 to move outwardly so that the conv'eyor'13 is moved out of the path of the punch whichis forced downwardly by the ram .9. As the punch. f movesupwardly the bell crank is rocked'in the opposite direction and the end 23 of. the bellcrankagain moves the shank in the oppo site direction, bringing theplatform 13 into the position 'shown 1, thus being in a position to receivethe workpiece 12 when the, same is stripped from the punch. Attheriext downward movement of the ram the workpiece is'carried outwardly until iteng'ages the scraper 32,]this scraper '32 servingtodis lodge the workpiece'from the member 18, per 9 mitting it. to falldownwa'rdly whereit can berernoved to a desired location. If'desired, a hopper may be'provided for receiving the workpiece when sc-raped from the member 13. In 1 this way the necessity of the operator,

placing his hand in the path of the punch in' order to remove the workpiece is eliminated, and thusa safety factor in operating is 7 added, withfla consequentspeeding upof the production of the machine.

While we-have illustrated and described wardly, the bell cran'kis rockedon its .pivot, r
